Denmead Fun Event

Sunday 17th September

EVENT (ODE) & DRESSAGE CLASSES

ODE consists of Dressage, show jumping + "Cross Country". The X-C’try course is a mix of working hunter & fixed X-c’try fences. Longer than an average working hunter course, shorter than a X- c’try course. (Average 20 fences)
Scores are marked on what you achieve rather than penalties - if you do not like a fence leave it out and carry on! After 3 attempts at any one fence you MUST move on. The course will be timed but will only count if there is a tie.
Course Walks. There will be escorted course walks during the morning. Your horse may accompany you on these. Please check time of walks
